Catwalks and Organising - Unionising the fashion sector w/Jamie Briers
Manage episode 391399474 series 3541993
In the latest episode of the UnionDues podcast, Simon chats with Equity National Industrial Organiser Jamie Briers about the relationship between catwalks and unions – epitomised by Equity’s agreement with London Fashion Week’s host – the British Fashion Council.
The fashion industry is worth £35bn a year to the UK economy and employs nearly 900,000 people. And London Fashion Week, taking place right now, is a globally important event..
We also talk about the existential crisis facing British Theatre – and why the £1.5bn aid package from government was nowhere near enough and how the union with others launched a comprehensive campaign to save the sector.
